And in fact, that is why I was so worried on the second to last drive because I knew the Panthers were going to throw the ball in a two minute type drill. Thankfully, Newman made a great play, but I was really worried leading up to that.

At least that’s what it seems like to me.

some combination of prevent defense, lack of time to preview the offensive formations, bit of fatigue and lack of substituions?

practicing the 2min drill might be worthwile. the overall conditioning might get a bit better as the season progresses, but of course injuries always hurt.

overall the secondary hasn’t played so well and alot of that seemed to be the pressure of the defense.

was definitely some pressure and of course turnovers and sacks came. the secondary seemed to step up in general as well and there were fewer mishaps.

im still concerned about the safeties. i expected more of sensabaugh. i seen hamlin get called out by name twice vs caroline (1st he didnt move fast enough to cover and the 2nd he was drawn to the wrong side)

I miss the second half of the 4th quarter soo i later hear the Butler had sacks.

So was Anthony Spencer bench or did Phillips just put Butler out there for a few snaps?

Also did anyone beside me notice the disaperance of Bobby Carpenter with the emerence of Keith Brookings getting more snaps.

Did Bobby get a benching or something else?
